Install Files Will Not Run, No Taskbar, Desktop Icons

For a year, my computer has had no taskbar, desktop icons, and has been a real pain to deal with. I haven't gotten it fixed because i'm constantly typing papers and Word still works so i haven't had the time to get someone to look at it.

So for a year, I have been living with the computer in its taskbar-less state, constantly hitting control alt delete and the new task bar to do my business. Now the damned thing won't let me install files, programs are acting up, and everything is very slow. When I open the install file, it appears in the processes list then instantly disappear. SpyBot and McAffee scans are ineffective, and i can't download and install the programs that the HijackThis thread says too. Luckily, Hijackthis actually worked, so here's the log. Any help would be wonderful. I really don't want to nuke my harddrive and lose countless files. Also, my harddrive is divided into the C drive and D drive. The C drive only gets 20 Gb, while the D drive gets 140gb . The C drive is full of stuff, and I though I had deleted all the useless stuff but it is still full. Is there anyway to get more space alloted to the C drive? HELP!

Hello poopidy poopoo and welcome to the BC HijackThis forum. Yes, there is something in there but I don't think we are seeing all of it. Let's see if you can download a different scanner and run it.

Download WinPFind3U.exe to your Desktop (or another place that you can find it) and run it to extract the files. It will create a folder named WinPFind3u.

Open the WinPFind3u folder and run the WinPFind3U.exe to start the program.

Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.

When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.

Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.

Use the Add Reply button and Copy/Paste the information back here. I will review it when it comes in. If, after posting, the last line is not < End of Report > then the log is too big to fit into a single post and you will need to split it into multiple posts.

Cheers.
